It might be a rainout or delay.

:( Next 6 Hours:

Widespread showers and thunderstorms developing by early evening. Mostly cloudy with temperatures cooling into the low to middle 60s. SSW winds shifting to WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

      The Royals

      By Uli2001 · Posted

      To be fair, for this team it's a 5-game playoff loss streak. They had nothing to do with the previous 5 losses. In 2014 they ran into a very talented and hot team in the ALCS. Last year, they lost to the eventual WS champions. In 2016 it was the Britton non-usage fiasco. Each one has their own set of circumstances. We will see how far KC goes this year, but who's to say they aren't last year's Rangers? If they are, then I will say that the Orioles have been unlucky in whom they have drawn in the playoffs.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      There's no need to throw most of our guys strikes.  Adley used to be that guy where you had to throw him strikes or else he'd be a threat to get on base but between his old man back and his smokeshow girlfriend, that ability has vanished. I was hoping we were past the teams of Adam Jones and Mark Trumbo and guys who'd just swing at everything and post low OBPs and offenses that'd only score if they were homering, but here we are. Someone was saying last night that the Royals pitching wasn't impressive, I disagreed.  They obviously had good scouting and knew that a guy like Tony would chase high out of the zone and they pitched him that way almost exclusively.  I'm sure everyone knows that Mountcastle will swing at a low and outside slider and expand the zone with two strikes.  No, the Royals did a fantastic job of pitching to our swing happy dickheads, they knew exactly what to do...they had a game plan and they executed it perfectly.

      They are clearly more talented. That’s why they won more games with more significant injuries. Plenty of players over OPS+100 and that’s with slumps.    This series was about the Orioles, not the Royals.

      I know oh the pain knowing he could of been an Oriole. I would trade Adley and Henderson straight up for Witt knowing how great a player he is and the added addition to him being signed for the next decade.

      The moneyball analytical approach might get you a playoff series win or two, but more often than not the teams that spend end up in the WS. I know there are some outliers like AZ last year, but most WS teams have a larger payroll.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      It better not be. I will be willing to bet this team WILL NOT be back in the playoffs if Elias doesn't make significant improvements on this team and then as Tony has said now he is on the chopping block if this team takes a step back .

      Orioles Cannot be Complacent -- Look at History

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Showalter had a 5 game playoff losing streak but he also won the 2012 WC game, lost in 5 games in an extremely close ALDS as the underdog, and swept the 2014 ALDS before that streak. He also never lost to a team in the playoffs that was sub .500 if you take out their record against the worst team of all time.  The injuries were brutal and the offense sucked. That’s not on Hyde. But again, the team seemed mentally broken the last 3 months and never recovered. I really don’t care if he stays or is gone, but what happens if they start next year the same way they finished last year? Or what happens if they miss the playoffs or make them and completely flop again? You can’t just waste another year. Not saying bringing him back would be a waste. You just hope that this time next year, there’s no questioning if they should have made a change.
